Fleet 4.0.0 (Jun 29, 2021)

The primary additions in Fleet 4.0.0 are the new Role-based access control (RBAC) and Teams features.

RBAC adds the ability to define a user's access to features in Fleet. This way, more individuals in an organization can utilize Fleet with appropriate levels of access.

Teams adds the ability to separate hosts into exclusive groups. This way, users can easily act on consistent groups of hosts.

New features breakdown

  • Add ability to define a user's access to features in Fleet by introducing the Admin, Maintainer, and Observer roles. Available in Fleet Core.

  • Add ability to separate hosts into exclusive groups with the Teams feature. The Teams feature is available for Fleet Basic customers. Check out the list below for the new functionality included with Teams:

  • Teams: Add ability to enroll hosts to one team using team specific enroll secrets.

  • Teams: Add ability to manually transfer hosts to a different team in the Fleet UI.

  • Teams: Add ability to apply unique agent options to each team. Note that "osquery options" have been renamed to "agent options."

  • Teams: Add ability to grant users access to one or more teams. This allows you to define a user's access to specific groups of hosts in Fleet.

  • Add ability to create an API-only user. API-only users cannot access the Fleet UI. These users can access all Fleet API endpoints and fleetctl features. Available in Fleet Core.

  • Add Redis cluster support. Available in Fleet Core.

  • Fix a bug that prevented the columns chosen for the "Hosts" table from persisting after logging out of Fleet.

Upgrade plan

Fleet 4.0.0 is a major release and introduces several breaking changes and database migrations. The following sections call out changes to consider when upgrading to Fleet 4.0.0:

  • The structure of Fleet's .tar.gz and .zip release archives have changed slightly. Deployments that use the binary artifacts may need to update scripts or tooling. The fleetdm/fleet Docker container maintains the same API.

  • Use strictly fleet in Fleet's configuration, API routes, and environment variables. Users must update all usage of kolide in these items (deprecated since Fleet 3.8.0).

  • Change your SAML SSO URI to use fleet instead of kolide . This is due to the changes to Fleet's API routes outlined in the section above.

  • Change configuration option server_tlsprofile to server_tls_compatibility. This options previously had an inconsistent key name.

  • Replace the use of the api/v1/fleet/spec/osquery/options with api/v1/fleet/config. In Fleet 4.0.0, "osquery options" are now called "agent options." The new agent options are moved to the Fleet application config spec file and the api/v1/fleet/config API endpoint.

  • Enroll secrets no longer have "names" and are now either global or for a specific team. Hosts no longer store the “name” of the enroll secret that was used. Users that want to be able to segment hosts (for configuration, queries, etc.) based on the enrollment secret should use the Teams feature in Fleet Basic.

  • JWT encoding is no longer used for session keys. Sessions now default to expiring in 4 hours of inactivity. auth_jwt_key and auth_jwt_key_file are no longer accepted as configuration.

  • The username artifact has been removed in favor of the more recognizable name (Full name). As a result the email artifact is now used for uniqueness in Fleet. Upon upgrading to Fleet 4.0.0, existing users will have the name field populated with username.

  • As of Fleet 4.0.0, Fleet Device Management Inc. periodically collects anonymous information about your instance. Sending usage statistics is turned off by default for users upgrading from a previous version of Fleet. Read more about the exact information collected here.

Fleet 4.0.0 RC3 (Jun 25, 2021)

Primarily a test of the new release workflows. Relevant changelog will be updated for Fleet 4.0.

Fleet 4.0.0 RC2 (Jun 18, 2021)

  • Enroll secrets no longer have "names" and are now either global or for a specific team. Hosts no longer store the “name” of the enroll secret that was used. Users that want to be able to segment hosts (for configuration, queries, etc.) based on the enrollment secret should use the Teams feature in Fleet Basic.

  • auth_jwt_key and auth_jwt_key_file are no longer accepted as configuration.

  • JWT encoding is no longer used for session keys. Sessions now default to expiring in 4 hours of inactivity.

Known issues

  • Query packs cannot be targeted to teams.

Fleet 3.13.0 (Jun 3, 2021)

  • Improve performance of the additional_queries feature by moving additional query results into a separate table in the MySQL database. Please note that the /api/v1/fleet/hosts API endpoint now return only the requested additional columns. See documentation on the changes to the hosts API endpoint here.

  • Fix a bug in which running a live query in the Fleet UI would return no results and the query would seem "hung" on a small number of devices.

  • Improve viewing live query errors in the Fleet UI by including the “Errors” table in the full screen view.

  • Improve fleetctl preview experience by adding the fleetctl preview reset and fleetctl preview stop commands to reset and stop simulated hosts running in Docker.

  • Add several improvements to the Fleet UI including additional contrast on checkboxes and dropdown pills.

Fleet 3.12.0 (May 19, 2021)

  • Add scheduled queries to the Host details page. Surface the "Name", "Description", "Frequency", and "Last run" information for each query in a pack that apply to a specific host.

  • Improve the freshness of host vitals by adding the ability to "refetch" the data on the Host details page.

  • Add ability to copy log fields into Google Cloud Pub/Sub attributes. This allows users to use these values for subscription filters.

  • Add ability to duplicate live query results in Redis. When the redis_duplicate_results configuration option is set to true, all live query results will be copied to an additional Redis Pub/Sub channel named LQDuplicate.

  • Add ability to controls the server-side HTTP keepalive property. Turning off keepalives has helped reduce outstanding TCP connections in some deployments.

  • Fix an issue on the Packs page in which Fleet would incorrectly handle the configured server_url_prefix.

Fleet 3.11.0 (Apr 28, 2021)

  • Improve Fleet performance by batch updating host seen time instead of updating synchronously. This improvement reduces MySQL CPU usage by ~33% with 4,000 simulated hosts and MySQL running in Docker.

  • Add support for software inventory, introducing a list of installed software items on each host's respective Host details page. This feature is flagged off by default (for now). Check out the feature flag documentation for instructions on how to turn this feature on.

  • Add Windows support for fleetctl agent autoupdates. The fleetctl updates command provides the ability to self-manage an agent update server. Available for Fleet Basic customers.

  • Make running common queries more convenient by adding the ability to select a saved query directly from a host's respective Host details page.

  • Fix an issue on the Query page in which Fleet would override the CMD + L browser hotkey.

  • Fix an issue in which a host would display an unreasonable time in the "Last fetched" column.

Fleet 3.10.1 (Apr 6, 2021)

  • Fix a frontend bug that prevented the "Pack" page and "Edit pack" page from rendering in the Fleet UI. This issue occurred when the platform key, in the requested pack's configuration, was set to any value other than darwin, linux, windows, or all.

Fleet 3.10.0 (Mar 31, 2021)

  • Add fleetctl agent auto-updates beta which introduces the ability to self-manage an agent update server. Available for Fleet Basic customers.

  • Add option for Identity Provider-Initiated (IdP-initiated) Single Sign-On (SSO).

  • Improve logging. All errors are logged regardless of log level, some non-errors are logged regardless of log level (agent enrollments, runs of live queries etc.), and all other non-errors are logged on debug level.

  • Improve login resilience by adding rate-limiting to login and password reset attempts and preventing user enumeration.

  • Add Fleet version and Go version in the My Account page of the Fleet UI.

  • Improvements to fleetctl preview that ensure the latest version of Fleet is fired up on every run. In addition, the Fleet UI is now accessible without having to click through browser security warning messages.

  • Prefer storing IPv4 addresses for host details.

Fleet 3.9.0 (Mar 9, 2021)

  • Add configurable host identifier to help with duplicate host enrollment scenarios. By default, Fleet's behavior does not change (it uses the identifier configured in osquery's --host_identifier flag), but for users with overlapping host UUIDs changing --osquery_host_identifier to instance may be helpful.

  • Make cool-down period for host enrollment configurable to control load on the database in scenarios in which hosts are using the same identifier. By default, the cooldown is off, reverting to the behavior of Fleet <=3.4.0. The cooldown can be enabled with --osquery_enroll_cooldown.

  • Refresh the Fleet UI with a new layout and horizontal navigation bar.

  • Deprecate /api/v1/kolide routes in favor of /api/v1/fleet. Deprecated routes continue to work and the Fleet server will log warnings if the deprecated routes are used.

  • Add Javascript source maps for development.

Fleet 3.7.1 (Feb 3, 2021)

  • Change the default --server_tls_compatibility to intermediate. The new settings caused TLS connectivity issues for users in some environments. This new default is a more appropriate balance of security and compatibility, as recommended by Mozilla.

Kolide Fleet 2.0.0 (currently preparing for release)

The primary new addition in Fleet 2 is the new fleetctl CLI and file-format, which dramatically increases the flexibility and control that administrators have over their osquery deployment. The CLI and the file format are documented in the Fleet documentation.

New Features

  • New fleetctl CLI for managing your entire osquery workflow via CLI, API, and source controlled files!

    • You can use fleetctl to manage osquery packs, queries, labels, and configuration.

  • In addition to the CLI, Fleet 2.0.0 introduces a new file format for articulating labels, queries, packs, options, etc. This format is designed for composability, enabling more effective sharing and re-use of intelligence.

apiVersion: v1
kind: query
spec:
  name: pending_updates
  query: >
    select value
    from plist
    where
      path = "/Library/Preferences/ManagedInstalls.plist" and

  • Run live osquery queries against arbitrary subsets of your infrastructure via the fleetctl query command.

  • Use fleetctl setup, fleetctl login, and fleetctl logout to manage the authentication life-cycle via the CLI.

  • Use fleetctl get, fleetctl apply, and fleetctl delete to manage the state of your Fleet data.

  • Manage any osquery option you want and set platform-specific overrides with the fleetctl CLI and file format.

Upgrade Plan

  • Managing osquery options via the UI has been removed in favor of the more flexible solution provided by the CLI. If you have customized your osquery options with Fleet, there is a database migration which will port your existing data into the new format when you run fleet prepare db. To download your osquery options after migrating your database, run fleetctl get options > options.yaml. Further modifications to your options should occur in this file and it should be applied with fleetctl apply -f ./options.yaml.

Kolide 1.0.4 (Jun 1, 2017)

  • Added feature that allows users to import existing Osquery configuration files using the configimporter utility.

  • Added support for Osquery decorators.

  • Added SAML single sign on support.

  • Improved online status detection.

    The Kolide server now tracks the distributed_interval and config_tls_refresh values for each individual host (these can be different if they are set via flagfile and not through Kolide), to ensure that online status is represented as accurately as possible.

  • Kolide server now requires --auth_jwt_key to be specified at startup.

    If no JWT key is provided by the user, the server will print a new suggested random JWT key for use.

  • Fixed bug in which deleted packs were still displayed on the query sidebar.

  • Fixed rounding error when showing % of online hosts.

  • Removed --app_token_key flag.

  • Fixed issue where heavily loaded database caused host authentication failures.

  • Fixed issue where osquery sends empty strings for integer values in log results.

Kolide 1.0.3 (April 3, 2017)

  • Log rotation is no longer the default setting for Osquery status and results logs. To enable log rotation use the --osquery_enable_log_rotation flag.

  • Add a debug endpoint for collecting performance statistics and profiles.

    When kolide serve --debug is used, additional handlers will be started to provide access to profiling tools. These endpoints are authenticated with a randomly generated token that is printed to the Kolide logs at startup. These profiling tools are not intended for general use, but they may be useful when providing performance-related bug reports to the Kolide developers.

  • Add a workaround for CentOS6 detection.

    osquery 2.3.2 incorrectly reports an empty value for platform on CentOS6 hosts. We added a workaround to properly detect platform in Kolide, and also submitted a fix to upstream osquery.

  • Ensure hosts enroll in labels immediately even when distributed_interval is set to a long interval.

  • Optimizations reduce the CPU and DB usage of the manage hosts page.

  • Manage packs page now loads much quicker when a large number of hosts are enrolled.

  • Fixed bug with the "Reset Options" button.

  • Fixed 500 error resulting from saving unchanged options.

  • Improved validation for SMTP settings.

  • Added command line support for modern, intermediate, and old TLS configuration profiles. The profile is set using the following command line argument.

--server_tls_compatibility=modern

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS for more information on the different profile options.

  • The Options Configuration item in the sidebar is now only available to admin users.

    Previously this item was visible to non-admin users and if selected, a blank options page would be displayed since server side authorization constraints prevent regular users from viewing or changing options.

  • Improved validation for the Kolide server URL supplied in setup and configuration.

  • Fixed an issue importing osquery configurations with numeric values represented as strings in JSON.

Kolide 1.0.2 (March 14, 2017)

  • Fix an issue adding additional targets when querying a host

  • Show loading spinner while newly added Host Details are saved

  • Show a generic computer icon when when referring to hosts with an unknown platform instead of the text "All"

  • Kolide will now warn on startup if there are database migrations not yet completed.

  • Kolide will prompt for confirmation before running database migrations.

    To disable this, use kolide prepare db --no-prompt.

  • Kolide now supports emoji, so you can 🔥 to your heart's content.

  • When setting the platform for a scheduled query, selecting "All" now clears individually selected platforms.

  • Update Host details cards UI

  • Lower HTTP timeout settings.

    In an effort to provide a more resilient web server, timeouts are more strictly enforced by the Kolide HTTP server (regardless of whether or not you're using the built-in TLS termination).

  • Harden TLS server settings.

    For customers using Kolide's built-in TLS server (if the server.tls configuration is true), the server was hardened to only accept modern cipher suites as recommended by Mozilla.

  • Improve the mechanism used to calculate whether or not hosts are online.

    Previously, hosts were categorized as "online" if they had been seen within the past 30 minutes. To make the "online" status more representative of reality, hosts are marked "online" if the Kolide server has heard from them within two times the lowest polling interval as described by the Kolide-managed osquery configuration. For example, if you've configured osqueryd to check-in with Kolide every 10 seconds, only hosts that Kolide has heard from within the last 20 seconds will be marked "online".

  • Update Host details cards UI

  • Add support for rotating the osquery status and result log files by sending a SIGHUP signal to the kolide process.

  • Fix Distributed Query compatibility with load balancers and Safari.

    Customers running Kolide behind a web balancer lacking support for websockets were unable to use the distributed query feature. Also, in certain circumstances, Safari users with a self-signed cert for Kolide would receive an error. This release add a fallback mechanism from websockets using SockJS for improved compatibility.

  • Fix issue with Distributed Query Pack results full screen feature that broke the browser scrolling abilities.

  • Fix bug in which host counts in the sidebar did not match up with displayed hosts.

Kolide 1.0.1 (February 27, 2017)

  • Fix an issue that prevented users from replacing deleted labels with a new label of the same name.

  • Improve the reliability of IP and MAC address data in the host cards and table.

  • Add full screen support for distributed query results.

  • Enable users to double click on queries and packs in a table to see their details.

  • Reprompt for a password when a user attempts to change their email address.

  • Automatically decorate the status and result logs with the host's UUID and hostname.

  • Fix an issue where Kolide users on Safari were unable to delete queries or packs.

  • Improve platform detection accuracy.

    Previously Kolide was determining platform based on the OS of the system osquery was built on instead of the OS it was running on. Please note: Offline hosts may continue to report an erroneous platform until they check-in with Kolide.

  • Fix bugs where query links in the pack sidebar pointed to the wrong queries.

  • Improve MySQL compatibility with stricter configurations.

  • Allow users to edit the name and description of host labels.

  • Add basic table autocompletion when typing in the query composer.

  • Support MySQL client certificate authentication. More details can be found in the Configuring the Fleet binary docs.

  • Improve security for user-initiated email address changes.

    This improvement ensures that only users who own an email address and are logged in as the user who initiated the change can confirm the new email.

    Previously it was possible for Administrators to also confirm these changes by clicking the confirmation link.

  • Fix an issue where the setup form rejects passwords with certain characters.

    This change resolves an issue where certain special characters like "." where rejected by the client-side JS that controls the setup form.

  • Automatically login the user once initial setup is completed.
